Haven't tried a new HDD but like I said, I reformatted and did error checking on my new comp using a USB external enclosure. I'm not saying that its not the problem but could the error checking miss something?

I tried this but when went to boot from the CD, I got this message:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown block (0,0)
Second time around, it started to boot with the bars going across the screen and freezes at different points.
CPU Fan is running and power supply was replaced shortly before this problem with a slightly upgraded unit.
Any ideas?
